According to Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson, the man was "Rantin and raving incoherently" when his officers surrounded him in the editing room which was on the second floor of the WMAR-TV building.

The rest of Baptiste's tweets support claims that Baptiste was a man who required psychological help.

After a five hour stand off, police arrested Baptiste without incident as he was "subdued".

NY Daily News reported that he is currently in jail in lieu of $75,000 bail. He faces several charges, including three counts of attempted second degree.
